    Cream: Truefitt & Hill Sandalwood
    Brush: Omega S10065 synthetic
    Razor: RazoRock German 37 Slant
    Blade: Astra SP: (5)
    After Shave: Pinaud Clubman

    I noticed (or thought I did) yesterday, that the combination of T&H Sandalwood and Pinaud Clubman after shave rendered a completely different overall scent. Stayed with me most of the day. Not quite Clubman, not quite Sandalwood. Very pleasing.

    Verified this morning as well. The odd thing is, I shave prior to showering so I must assume that the T&H cream is being absorbed into my skin and staying there even after showering and washing my face with bath soap. I'm likin' it!

    9 March 2017 Shave of the Day
    Pre: A lot of hot water
    Razor: 1971 Gillette Super Adjustable 109
    Blade: Voskhod
    Brush: Omega 6212 Silvertip
    Cream: Simpsons Unscented
    Post: Hot/cold rinse, cold towelx2, Dominello Vitali Calming Post Shave Moisturizer
    A/S: Fine "American Blend"
    For today's shave I decided to go unscented. So I got out the Simpsons and put the 6212 to work. In no time I had a nice, thick, slick lather. The Voskhod is mowing down workweek stubble like nobody's business. If past performance is any indicator, it'll still be doing the job tomorrow. 2.5 passes(the half pass is XTG on my neck) and I had a WWS+. I tried out the Fine sample I got the other day. Not a fan of the atomizer, so I unscrewed it a just poured some in my hand. Smelled really nice. It's advertised as "barbershop", but I remember a more Clubman scent from the barbershop of my youth. I'd classify it as "a nice to have". Anyway the day was off to a great start and it was off to work. Have a great day!

    I've seen that "It" ad before, and I believe I made the comment earlier that the producers got the jingle wrong, or should I say, they skipped over part of it. Now, by "it" don't mean IT, but...AHHHYOUKNOWWHATIMEANT :)).
